I keep thinking with all the latest server and client updates sooner or later somebody’s going to fix some of the new issues since the forced changes were made to the home screen.
One of the things I’ve noticed that just ticks me off, is in continue watching. Let’s say a recording just finished and it’s added to the home screen. Where does it show up. That’s correct it’s like 10th in the row of continue watching you got to scroll all the way over you can’t even see it on the home screen without scrolling to the middle of the items.
And then in recently added it’s not even showing, it don’t even show up. But if you go to the library the recording was added to it shows up there first one in recently added, but not on the home screen in recently added in that library. Maybe we need a refresh button?
And I watch a show, I let it play all the way to the end it actually ends and takes me back to the previous screen then I back up to the home screen and there’s the show big yellow bar all the way across the bottom of the icon it’s marked played but it didn’t disappear you got to go back in and mark it as played to actually get it to disappear off the continue watching row. That don’t happen every time but it happens enough.
And then I still have a handful of recordings, shows that I’m recording, that for whatever reason in the Android client they just never show up, if they do show up you click on them it says unable to navigate. But if you use the web browser on the server they show up and work perfect. I can use my phone and cast it to the same TV, the Android client , that won’t work, that can’t play the file and it works when I’m casting to that device but the Plex Android client on that device can’t find that file. I’ve not figured out what it is about those particular 4 or 5 shows but every week when it adds those shows to recordings, it won’t play, it don’t know where the files are at even though they’re right where they’re supposed to be. Only the Android client that is has this problem.
I can move all the tv shows files out of that library rescan and empty trash, then move all the files back in then they all work until next week when the new recording comes in then that new one don’t work. This bug drives me crazy.
I know this is mostly a rant, but I have read about these Android client issues for many months and the other home screen bugs\changes were forced on us .
